God
Xudo (a Persian-origin word for God long used across Central Asia, including by Uzbek speakers of all backgrounds) is the term used consistently in the IBT Uzbek Bible. Alloh is understood and not doctrinally wrong, but Xudo is the settled convention this Language Package follows for consistency with existing Uzbek Christian usage.
